      I never witnessed or experienced toxicity as people generally think of the term (rude name calling and such), but stalking and other creepy, unwanted behavior? Most definitely. Main reason I no longer play.

      Edit to add, overall I agree with all the commenters saying it’s a super friendly and positive community overall. It can just sometimes be too friendly. lol

      I’ve played thousands of hours of that in the last 2 years, I’ve never seen any toxic behavior.

      Even when I die like 10 times in a dungeon everyone is always like “You’ll get there”. 🥹

      Yeah this list is very dubious. FFXIV is possibly the chillest multiplayer game I’ve played.

      Still is. No idea how people are taking that as toxic.

      In WoW I was told to kill myself for picking a flower.

      Yeah idk where those stats are coming from. Everything I’ve ever heard and experienced with XIV has been nothing but glowingly positive. I have never seen more welcoming and patient players in an MMO in 10+ years of playing online, than in XIV.

      FFXIV is by far the friendliest MMO I’ve played. Overwatch definitely needs to be on the survey.
